I could listen to a guy like that for days.

Yeah, me too. He would have to put up with a a lot of questions from me as well.

LOL. Trust me, you couldn't. I'd rather slam my fingers in a car door, again, and again, and again than listen to him. Its physically painful listening to him go into every possible minutia detail in even the simplest story. He's one of those SLOOOOOOOW talkers too.

Ya know that's really interesting. The reason JFK was killed is quite possibly because of that. When JFK is hit with the first shot, he is seen clutching his throat. But then notice he cannot slump over.Had he been able to slump over, he might not have been hit by the next shot. He had a very bad back and often had a brace that was wrapped around him. Now, I have not heard about the tore muscle but I do know he had the brace on the day he was killed.

This is a very good observation CC. In the book I read, they eluded to this EXACT thing. And my father in law told me about it before I ever read the book.

I really could. You have no idea the depth of my passion for History. It can't be any slower than reading through pages and pages of text to find one sentence for your research.

I love me some history too. I always have. But we're talking about a guy who the whole family tries to avoid because he's so long winded. At most family get togethers, whoever Jack (my Father in law), happens to corner and start talking too, the rest of us point and laugh at the victim.

I'm sure if it was the first day you met him, you'd be fine, but when you see him on a regular basis, boy can he beat you down.

I'll tell you guys what though, I'll take one for the team and next time I see him I'll ask him to give me his best 2-3 Air Force One stories, and I'll share them on here. I will have to self medicate before I ask him the question though, cause its going to be a LONG time after that before I regain my freedom again.

How about you aim a video camera at him and then youtube it?

WW2 guys are the best ...... unfortunately there are very few of them left.

My dad was a WW2 vet and he was the commander at a veterans organization for many years. When I was a kid I used to sit and listen to their stories and was just mesmerized by what they told me. I'm sure they had added some color to the stories as the years went by but for the most part, they were riveting.

Not a bad idea. That way I could hit "record", and then come back in a couple days when he's done.

Actually from what I read JFK would have died of the throat wound anyway, I believe it cut the carotoid artery on that side.

There are different thoughts on that. Some say the major damage to the throat came when they were trying to save him at the hospital. Though he was obviously dead at the time they still had to make every attempt to save the president's life.

No one has mentioned the "C" word in this thread.

Castro?
Conspiracy?
Colostomy?

?

No one has mentioned the "C" word in this thread.

At one time I believed in the c word now I'm not so inclined to think there was some grand conspiracy in large part because the thing with any conspiracy the more people involved the less likely it is to be kept a secret sooner or later someone comes forward or leaves information behind when they die. I have heard the argument of organized crime yet these guys have turned on each other why would they keep this a secret for this long? Government? I think like anything involving government leaks would have taken place.

 

[Chief]

Conspiracy?

That one.

I'm a believer.

 

[Cajuncowboy]

That one.

I'm a believer.

I don't think Oswald acted alone. Everything I have seen points to more than one individual.

Also if Arlen Spector said there was only one person, it's pretty much a lock there was more than one. (But that aside)..I do think the most obvious one involves Santo Trafficante, Jr.

It's an amazing story to say the least but I do think he more than likely is the one who orchestrated this.

This could be a thread in of itself, but put me down with I think the mob was involved.

You simply don't use the mob to get you elected president, and then go after them when you're in office. Robert was coming down on them hard, and the easiest way to end that was to end JFK.

And if it weren't the mob, why in the world would Jack Ruby of killed Oswald? Makes no sense whatsoever.

And yes, the mob could keep that quiet. No doubt in my mind.

The mob is turning each other in and ratting each other out why would this be a big secret any longer? Most of the things the mob has been involved with over the years is pretty much out in the open as member after member has spilled their guts.

Really? When did they spill the beans on where Jimmy Hoffa is buried?

I guess we wait until Giants stadium is torn down. Thing is member of mob have said he was buried in many place yet no one denies he got wacked by the mob even though there is no body.
